The ladies that walk into my studio are mothers, business owners, incredible friends and wildly independent. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have moments of self-doubt, especially after booking a boudoir session that is likely going to expose parts of themselves they have become really great at hiding. 

It can be hard to showcase ALL of yourself and feel totally confident. I get it! I have moments where I wish for things about my body that will likely never be a reality. But the whole point of a boudoir session is to embrace who you are in the present moment and celebrate yourself as you are. And I know, I’m saying all the right things, but it doesn’t change how you’re feeling. But I’m also telling you this knowing there’s a whole lot of behind the scenes action that will help you look exactly how you want in your pictures, and I can promise you, you will leave my studio confidently embracing your “flaws,” and you’ll be thrilled with the way your photos look. Here are five ways we will ensure you look stunning on the day of your session, that you might not know about. 

You’ll have access to hair and makeup artists.

Why not spend the morning of your shoot beautifying yourself with professional hair and makeup? We offer full-service glam on site with the most talented hair stylists and makeup artists. These professionals will help whatever your vision is for that day come to life. Big romantic curls? Check! Bold red lips? Check! They create a look that is authentically you, but enhanced in a way that highlights your natural beauty, while hiding any problem spots. Skip the injections! They will hide those crows' feet. And by the end of our session you won’t want them hidden anymore!

We will choose an outfit that enhances your body type.

If you don’t always wear lingerie, you may be nervous about what to wear on the day of the session that will highlight your best features and hide your problem areas. Well, stop worrying! I offer professional guidance on what you should wear to look and feel your best. We can talk through lots of lingerie options, or you can opt for something with more coverage. Some women opt for leather or denim jackets, chunky sweaters or oversized button downs. Your wardrobe is completely up to you and I will help you style yourself in a way that makes you radiate confidence and cover the places you’re not quite ready to show off. 

We’ll use professional lighting to make you shine. 

It’s my job to showcase you in the best light possible, literally! After photographing so many beautiful women, I know exactly how to use light to your advantage. So many of your “problem areas” can be hidden with the right lighting. Women are always shocked when they look at their photos how the light changes the way certain features look on their body. I am able to manipulate the lighting to soften the way you look and you will be stunned by the results. 

I will help you pose in the most flattering positions.

Many women are hesitant when they first get in front of the camera. They think they have to be professional models in order to get great pictures. But don’t worry! I am here to pose you from head to toe, and this gives me the ability to completely hide any areas you don’t want in the photos. Feeling insecure about your tummy? Hate the way your arms look? Whatever you don’t want to show off can easily be “hidden.” There are so many ways to pose to showcase your body in the best way possible and you will see that in your photos!

Your photos will be professionally edited.

I think you are perfect without retouching, but I know my clients like a little tweak of their images here and there. My editing will capture every bit of you, but in the best way possible. Your jaw will literally hit the floor after you see your photos, and you’ll be even more shocked to find out how little I’ll need to edit your images to enhance your natural beauty. 

I know you’re worried about stripping down in front of someone you’ve just met, and are putting this experience on hold because your body doesn’t look the way you want it to, STOP! We can do this together! Ready to book a session with me? Get in touch today!
